circuit by wiring up to the next terminal.
6. Laying up and launching
6.1 Inhibiting
While the boat is in the water but not in use, the engine should be run warm at least
once every 14 days. If the boat is not to be used for over a month at a time,
long-term inhibiting should be carried out.
6.2 Long-term inhibiting
You should have the engine and its accessories checked by professional before
carrying out long-term inhibiting, and see that any necessary repairs are carried out
at this point.
6.3 Inhibiting schedule (with boat in water)
6.3.1 Allow the engine to idle at high revolutions for a few minutes.
Then stop it.
6.3.2 Pump all oil out of the engine using the oil pump and drain off
the oil out of the gearbox.
6.3.3 Change the oil filter. Fill the engine and gearbox to the correct
level.
The engine is then ready to run on this oil next season.
When inhibiting for longer periods than normal laying-up for the winter, special
preservative oil should be used, and the oil filter should not be changed until the
boat is launched again.
